>(There's a thought - how did Jarosar die? "Fell to poison from a
>friend's hand." Hmmm.)

He's also alleged to have been killed by Lunar Spirits according
to the King List in the Genertela Boxed Set which puts him equal
with Terasarin in the multiple-choice deaths.

>The

How do you get the similarity? Argrath uses magicians and priests to
hunt down the Telmori whereas Jomes uses Peltasts to fight them.

>Oh, and did you all spot Argrath in 1627 (having just missed the Flame)
>asking Leika's permission to import a bunch of his supporters from Pavis
>to the Colymar lands?

The event is said to have occured early in his reign (KoS p213) and
Minaryth Blue confirms this by stating Argrath's election as having
occured in 1631 and his acceptance into the Colymar in 1632. Thus I
think the 1627 date implausible.
